Breaking News!!! Prince Louis of Luxembourg and Princess Tessy to divorce

I've just heard the news that Prince Louis of Luxembourg, the third son and child of Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa and his wife Princess Tessy are divorcing. The couple married without royal consent almost 10 and a half years ago on 29th September 2006. Prince Louis abdicated his rights to succession in order to marry Tessy. Louis and Tessy have two children together, Prince Gabriel of Nassau and Prince Noah of Nassau.

I wish both Prince Louis and Princess Tessy all the best in the future. It's not easy deciding that the best way to raise your family is apart. I hope they both find happiness and that Prince Gabriel and Prince Noah grow up in a happy loving, home despite the circumstances.
